Multi-Account Violations, IP Spanning and Linked Accounts

Prohibited Trading Practices

Written by Oliver

Solo Clash allows a trader to hold more than one account, within a stated limit, provided every account is registered to that trader, verified in that trader's name, and traded on its own merits. The limit exists because account count is what converts a low-probability outcome into a near-certain one: enough parallel attempts and one of them passes on variance alone, with no edge behind it. Registering accounts beyond the limit, or holding them under someone else's identity, is not a way of trading more — it is a way of buying more lottery tickets while appearing to hold one.

Identity is the other half of this. Every account must be KYC-verified in the name of the person actually trading it. An account opened in a spouse's, relative's, friend's, or stranger's name and traded by you is an unverified account, whatever the paperwork says. It defeats the account limit, it defeats the linked-account monitoring that every other rule in this article depends on, and it makes the payout a payment to someone who did not trade.

What counts as a violation:

  • Exceeding the account limit: holding more simultaneous active accounts than the maximum permitted for your account type whether registered directly, through additional email addresses, or through separate registrations.

  • Nominee and KYC fronting: opening or operating an account verified in another person's name — including family members, friends, employees, or paid nominees — where you are the person trading it.

  • Trading another trader's account: logging into, managing, or placing orders on an account that is not KYC-verified to you, with or without that person's permission.

  • Handing over your own account: allowing another person to trade, manage, or take signals-in-hand on an account verified to you, including account rental, sale, or transfer.

  • Identity mismatch at payout: requesting or receiving a payout to a bank account, wallet, or payment instrument held in a name other than the verified account holder's.

  • IP spanning: operating multiple accounts from a single IP address, device, or connection where those accounts are registered to different identities.

  • Registration structuring: using alternative email addresses, name variations, address variations, or separate payment methods in order to register accounts that would otherwise be linked and refused.

  • Circumvention after enforcement: registering a new account, under any identity, after an account of yours has been set to violation status or a ban has been applied.

What is allowed:

  • Holding up to the permitted number of accounts in your own verified name and trading each of them independently = ALLOWED

  • Two members of one household each holding their own accounts, each KYC-verified to the person trading it, sharing a home connection = ALLOWED, provided the relationship is disclosed to support before trading begins

  • Traders at the same firm, prop desk, or trading floor sharing a corporate connection = ALLOWED, provided the shared connection is disclosed to support before trading begins

  • Trading your own account from more than one device or location — home, office, mobile = ALLOWED

  • Buying a new evaluation in your own name after a genuine failure = ALLOWED

  • Discussing setups, ideas, or market views with other traders who hold their own accounts = ALLOWED (shared ideas are not shared accounts; what matters is who places the order and whose net exposure results)

Your responsibility: if you will be trading from a connection or device that another Solo Clash trader also uses, tell us before you start trading. A disclosed shared household or office connection is noted on both accounts and does not, by itself, trigger anything further. An undisclosed one is indistinguishable from a single person running accounts under two names, and will be reviewed as such.

Relationship to other rules:

  • Accounts linked under this section are treated as one group everywhere else in this article. A prohibited practice found on one account of a group is assessed against the group as a whole.

  • Two accounts on one connection holding opposite sides of the same instrument is cross-account hedging, and is enforced under Section 11 at that section's severity.

  • Two accounts on one connection holding the same side is copy trading, governed separately.

  • Undisclosed VPN, proxy, and data centre use under Section 5 is reviewed here as well, because obscuring connection origin is the most direct way to defeat account linking.

  • Running the pass-withdraw-blowup cycle across several registrations is payout milking under Section 8, aggravated by this section where the additional accounts were obtained through other identities.
